Under the MMBA, a local agency may adopt reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to resolving collective bargaining disputes. (MMBA, § 3507, subd. (a)(5).) In order to be lawful, such rules and regulations may not undercut or frustrate the MMBA’s policies and purposes. Therefore, if a local agency has adopted its rules, regulations, or charter provisions, whether by a vote of its electorate, a vote of its governing board, or by any other means, the resulting policies must be consistent with the MMBA. (p. 24.)
